Culture of Rajasthan
Despite the relative poverty of the desert people.Rajasthanis are a colourful and happy and proud people with a culture deeply rooted in tradition. The Rajasthanis are traditional to the point of being orthodox and extremely conservative and it especially in matters of caste and community. Till not so long backand here women were restricted to living within the purdah and education and careers were distant dreams for most women. In matters of honour, the Rajasthanis are very touchy and any insult and real or imagined can end in bloodbaths, even today.
